two of those, senator schumer and senator mccain met with president obama today. after their meeting, they spoke to reporters outside of the white house. >> well, we had a very good meeting with the president. we briefed him on the details of our immigration reform bill. notwhile he certainly might agree with every single part of it, he was very supportive of the bill we had put together. and simply wants to make sure we keep moving it along and get something done. i think everyone realizes, john realizes, i realize, the others in our group of eight and the president realizes, no one is going to get everything they want in a bill. but if we meet in the middle, we can do a lot of good for america and for our economy. and so we're feeling very good about this. things are moving in a very, very good way. and the president's support of our proposal, even though he wouldn't fully agree with it, it's just the right place to be, because we want lots of support even from people who might not agree with every single part. i don't want to give you the impression he is grudg

that was the purpose of president obama's visit. i think it had an historic impact, and i think generally speaking we are moving in the right direction. on north korea i would not describe our strategy as strategic patience, i call it strategic impatience. the conversations that i had in the region make it clear that we are not going down the same old road. we are not going to reward them and come to the table and get into some food deal without some pretty ironclad concept of how we are going forward on the denuclearization. i'm going to be candid with you. we have responded absolutely, i think, appropriately to the threats by making it clear that since guam was now potentially threatened or hawaii was potentially threatened, or even according to their biggest bragging that the continental united states could be reached, the president took the steps necessary that any president ought to take to make sure that you're not taking anything for granted. so we have made it clear we will defend our allies and our friends and our interests
